The next day, Liu Siqing brought two servings of hot wontons to the ward early in the morning.

Seeing that Zhong Linfang on the bed was awake, Liu Siqing couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Zhong Linfang chatted with her grandmother for most of the night last night and also learned that Liu Siqing stayed with her until very late before going home.

But her eyes still kept glancing towards the door.

Teacher Bai did not accompany Aunt Bai, who came to annul the engagement, to Zhongjiawan yesterday.

Zhong Linfang tried to find an excuse for him in her heart. Was it possible that he didn't know about Aunt Bai coming to break off the engagement?

Now that I've gotten into this mess, does he know?

If, if he.....

Zhong Lin thought to herself, what if he didn't know about that matter, and what if he believed in himself?

I'm not one either...

Liu Siqing seemed oblivious to Zhong Linfang's unusual behavior.

I put the lunchbox on the table next to the bed.

"Being a little better won't help, Sister Linfang?"

Where is Grandma?

Zhong Linfang smiled apologetically at Liu Siqing, "I'm sorry you had to see this."

"Grandma was just here, she probably went to the toilet."

Liu Siqing opened a lunchbox and said with a smile, "I brought you wontons, made by Chef Lan from the state-run restaurant."

"It smells delicious! Come on, try it!"

As Liu Siqing spoke, he scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Zhong Linfang's lips.

Zhong Linfang was taken aback, then turned her mouth away shyly and tried to sit up.

"Comrade Siqing, thank you, but I... I can do it myself!"

"Hey, hey, slow down."

Liu Siqing quickly helped her up, letting her sit half-upright against the headboard, and carefully picked up a pillow and tucked it under her waist.

"We're already so familiar with each other, why are you being so polite with me?"

"We are all revolutionary comrades, it is only right that we help each other, don't feel burdened."

Liu Siqing joked, "I'll feed you, but don't spill the soup on the bed, or the nurse will yell at you."

"Your voice sounded very hoarse just now, you must have injured your voice, right?"

"Don't say anything yet."

"It hurt a lot, didn't it?"

“You said you have something you can’t get over. If the Bai family has any misunderstandings, I can testify for you. Our security team all believe you, and the county public security bureau also knows what happened.”

Why are you getting so fixated on this?

"Yesterday scared me to death."

Liu Siqing kept talking, his hands never stopping, scooping up wontons one by one and feeding them to Zhong Linfang's mouth.

Looking at Liu Siqing's concerned face, Zhong Linfang felt a warm glow in her heart and suddenly wanted to cry.

Liu Siqing was startled when he saw her reddened eyes.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is it too hot? Did it burn you?"

"Oh dear, I'm so clumsy. Your throat is still sore. Let me blow on it for you. It's okay, it's okay, take your time."

Lu Jingzhi watched the two people inside the room from the doorway, intentionally giving them some time alone.

So I said I need to go home and pack some things, and I'd like to trouble Liu Siqing to look after them for me.

As soon as Lü Jingzhi returned to Zhongjiawan, he encountered several gossipy women at the village entrance. He rushed up and fought them off against three of them, but suffered a crushing defeat!

Dragging his injured leg, he returned home and sat quietly for a long time, lost in thought. Suddenly, he found the wood-chopping knife and began sharpening it rapidly.

On the other side, after her grandmother left, Zhong Linfang couldn't hold back any longer and begged Liu Siqing to help her send a message to Teacher Bai Hao at school, asking him to come over when he had time.

She didn't want to live with the same regrets as her grandmother. She wanted to fight for herself again and explain things to him in person.

As long as he's willing to believe in himself, everything else...

He was someone she had held in her heart for many years; she liked him, liked him very much.

The smile on Liu Siqing's face visibly faded, but he quickly pretended not to care.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Don't worry, no matter what it takes, even if it means carrying it on my back, I'll get through it for you."

Zhong Linfang avoided Liu Siqing's gaze.

"Thank you, thank you."

True to his word, Liu Siqing immediately went to the school, using the security team's name as an example, and dragged Bai Hao to the hospital.

He pushed the person into the room and said, "I'm at the door. Call me if you need anything."

Then they closed the door behind them.

The voices inside were very soft. Liu Siqing sat by the door, being a gentleman, and did not eavesdrop, but you could tell from his occasional stamping of his feet and rubbing of his hands that he was very agitated.

A moment later, the door creaked open.

Teacher Bai Hao walked out expressionlessly.

He left without saying goodbye.

"Hey hey~"

Liu Siqing called out twice, and seeing his resolute departure, he quickly got up and went into the room.

Inside the room, Zhong Linfang stared out the window with a look of despair, her face covered in tears.

"Sister Linfang, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Didn't you agree on this?

"Don't cry, I'll go find him and explain to him."

"No, no need."

Zhong Linfang said in a hoarse voice, "He said his parents are old and can't take it..."

He said his father was already in poor health, and now he's even more ill because of this, so he can't be unfilial.

He said his mother had already had a hard life, and he didn't want her to suffer like this in her old age.

He said it was for his own good and that I shouldn't contact him anymore.

Zhong Linfang felt as if her heart had been torn in two. She finally understood her grandmother's hesitation and uncertainty back then.

She understood why her grandmother didn't tell Grandpa Wen the truth.

Lu Jingzhi brought the prepared food to the hospital and happened to run into Bai Hao at the hospital entrance.
